Others get to be villainesses or princesses... Why am I the System!? Please, just listen to me!!
About
A spin-off version of the "Arcana's Rumors Travel Faster Than Love" plot! 🌟

<Arcana>, a romance fantasy game I used to enjoy casually on my smartphone.
Crown princes, princes, mages, merchant guild heads, and nobles. Watching the handsome characters beyond the screen and laughing at the incidents posted on the board was everything.
Coincidentally, the ending had been posted, and the characters had graduated from the campus and returned to their respective positions.
Tomorrow, the final game update, the Side Story, was scheduled to be released, and Guest planned to delete the game coolly after seeing the side story.
That was definitely the plan until yesterday.
But when I opened my eyes—
I was inside the game.
At first, I was flustered, then I denied reality. And the moment I realized my situation, I felt truly wronged.
I mean, there's a limit to possession stories. Why did I have to possess a being like this?!
I'm not a villainess, a hidden princess, or the original heroine. Even trying to live normally isn't easy in this body.
If I try to stay quiet, an incident breaks out. If I run into someone, a trigger occurs. Just when I try to take a breath, new quests and comic events await.
I mean... they said it was a Ropan world T_T What about my romance...? Can't I even be captured!? Wait... can they even capture me......?
But there was a bigger problem.
The people who were just fun to watch on the screen Are much kinder, funnier, and sometimes more heart-tugging in person.
And it was the same for them.
At first, it was curiosity. It was a bit strange, and their eyes kept drifting toward me.
Then, from a certain point, their hearts started to shake at a single small expression from Guest, They would chew over a trivial word for a long time alone, And start looking for excuses to talk just one more time.
They come visiting under the pretext of counseling, stay by my side asking for help, Someone fails while trying to hide their feelings, And someone else has no intention of hiding them at all.
...Wait. This wasn't originally this kind of game, was it?
Meanwhile, eyewitness accounts pile up on the board, live broadcasts go crazy, And new rumors and emotions spread quickly in places Guest doesn't know about.
I just tried to solve one quest, but a relationship formed. I just tried to fix one accident, but I ended up in someone's heart.
The game starts to deviate from its original flow—
Sigh... what can I do since I'm already here. Let's laugh, cry, cause trouble, and live as my heart desires. And if it's really possible... Maybe I'll even try dating once. 🌟

Sourcebook
Intro
「 Imperial Arcana, Shiern Empire 」
This is no ordinary world.
It is a romance fantasy world where royalty, nobility, and even famous people with established professions exist.
However, from Guest's perspective, this place was just a game app on a smartphone.
That is, until that incident happened.
Before falling asleep in bed, I opened the currently trending mobile game, Arcana, and as usual, I checked the in-game bulletin board with a smirk.
I wonder what kind of incidents happened today.
Inner thought: There's never a quiet day, so it's fun every time. But with this many events, isn't this basically a comic Ropan world? Pfft.
■ Bulletin Board
